CHAPTER XXIII

"The grass there is more tender, so it shouldn't prick people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

You have a good eye, let it be me!"

Dai Wei approached him with a grin. "No...... I've been picking for a long time!"

"Give it to me!" "Don't you dream......"

"Then I'll go over and ...... first."

I stroked my head, God, the sun hasn't set yet?

"Hey...... Ye Lingfeng, you said that there will be any wolf or something like this at night, don't be like the 'Five Tombstones'......" "Xie Jingrong, why are you following the foolishness!"

"Alright...... Don't ...... like that."

Suzuko spoke at them, looking "so exaggerated".

"Don't believe it, big men aren't easy to mess with!" Xie Jingrong said softly, rendering the atmosphere a little scary. Suzuko was silent for a moment and looked at me with a smile. "Hitomi-chan, you've seen it, it's that worm!"

Just like that, several pairs of eyes looked at me at the same time.

Isn't it?-Suzuko......

I hurriedly took a few steps back. "Hey...... Don't look at me like that!"

Glared at Suzuko - what a heartless thing. "Lin Yutong, it's up to you whether we can survive or not. ”

"Isn't it......"

"Such an honorable task has been entrusted to me. ”

"I'm not that great. ”

I'm scared to death, how can I still remember what it looks like?

I put on a glorious and righteous expression, forget it...... Or don't you know!

It's a lot quieter.

"I think...... Anyway, it's our business, and it's none of his business, so it shouldn't be good...... "Why didn't anyone answer me?"

"Wow, you're a genius. ”

Mo Gao looked like he wanted to hug me. If it weren't for Meng Yang blocking him.

"That's right, why didn't you think of it?" Dai Wei seemed to see his soft bed, and he had never had a happy expression.

"Then let's do it all over again!"

"Hmm!"

Suzuko happily looks for a new target!

"Lin Yutong, why don't you go. ”

"Huh?" I glanced at Meng Yang awkwardly. "I'm not going to do it!"

Meng Yang laughed. "What about the day after tomorrow?"

I looked at him in amazement.

"We're in the next class, of course I know!"

"Moreover, Meng Yang's handiwork is great!" Mo Gao added.

"You're going to do it too?"

"Next door......" he chuckled.

"Oh!"

"We're ...... too," Dai Wei said, patting Mo Gao.

"Oh, come and find it!" I said, "Why are you so laborious?"

I thought to myself.

"Don't look at us like that!" Mo Gao said, waving his hand.

"Of course we didn't come because of that, those jobs...... I don't care about it!"

"Hitomi Kotomi......" Suzuko is back.

"I can't find a better one than a bug......"

"Hey...... Ye Lingfeng, where are you going?"

"Go back!"

Everyone looked at him in bewilderment. "But ......"

"It's not easy, we'll do it for you. ”

I almost screamed with joy. It saves me a lot of money.

My poor fingers were finally freed. But...... Who?

"Don't look at me!"

"Don't look at me either!"

Dai Wei and Mo Gao couldn't do it at first glance

。 There are only three people left, and I'm afraid it will be necessary to fight again......

"I'll help you!" Meng Yang stood up.

I looked at him with emotion. You're such a nice man! But what about Suzuko? I looked at her.

"I'll help her! That's it!" Ye Lingfeng finished speaking simply, then turned around and walked towards the net door.

I pulled the bell that was still in place. She chased after her.

"Ye Lingfeng, I can do it myself!"

He ignored the bell and walked through the door.

"Hey...... Do you hear me!" Suzuko yelled through the wire mesh. None of us interjected, waiting for her to catch up.

"I said no, yes, you, help, favor!"

Ye Lingfeng stopped. "Didn't you just say that I caused your worm to run away?"

"However, I just want you to find worms, and there is no ......."

Ye Lingfeng turned around and continued walking. "Don't go!"

"I've decided to help you. ”

Meng Yang and I followed behind, just snickering, these two interesting people.

playground

"How did you go?"

The big man's voice wasn't as loud as it had just been. But it's still scary.

"I said, detoured. Dai Wei whispered.

"Uh...... No, I decided to make another one for them!"

"Uh-huh......" the big man just replied. Quite peaceful.

"Then practice for a while, the sun hasn't set yet!"

Liu Xiaoyi picked up the ball and walked to the playground, watching him gradually move away......

"It looks like we're going to sleep on the pitch!" Dai Wei said, dragging his steps to keep up with the review.

Then, the group of people was inexplicably pulled back into the field, and that big captain was weird!

"Suzuko, what are you going back for?" I asked her.

"Sleep!"

"You're not a specimen?" this duplicitous girl.

"No, he said he helped me. Why should I waste my time? It's best to exhaust him!"

I smiled helplessly, are all girls like this? Maybe I'm like her!

I looked at my watch, and it was already half past four, but I was still ready to go to the pavilion in the park to sit down...... There was an inexplicable glimmer of expectation in my heart.

We all started thinking about us -- including me.

What is a true friend, does it need to be understood, or is it just a smile......

When you go home to get your books, your house is empty and there is no one?

Why are my parents not at home? Thinking about it, I closed the door to my house and walked towards the park. This has often been the case lately.

I was thinkingβ€”"You're here." ”

The sound is faint.

At the same time, there was the sound of stones falling into the water.

I felt paralyzed in my body, and my feet were afraid to move forward.

Especially when I saw clearly who the person in front of me was - Yin Zixin.

He glanced at me, still leaning against the red pillar of the pavilion.

I didn't answer him, I wanted to leave, I really wanted to, but when I turned around, strange, why should I go?

Isn't it here to read a book? I sat down on the stone chair and opened the book in my hand.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he threw stones into the water. It upset me one by one.

Can't he be quiet?--I glanced at Yin Zixin. The boy who was laughing with the girl a few days ago is now as quiet as a beautiful statue.

Suddenly, the voice was gone. He sat down on the stone chair across from me.

"Don't you speak?"

I turned my head, still flipping through the book in my hand. That's right - I just don't like to talk to you.

Suddenly, the book in my hand was gone.

What's going on?

When I looked back, he had an extra book in his hand, and he seemed happy to keep dangling it in front of meβ€”I frowned in displeasure, it was mine!

"Give me back!" I grimaced.

He raised his eyebrows, looking "no way".

Okay! If you don't give it, I'll grab it......

I swear, I've done my best to get the book, but--helplessly, even though I'm quite tall, I'm only a little bit in front of his one-meter-eight stature!

Panting and glaring at him, I couldn't even hook the edge of the book. In front of him, he also flipped through the book with his hands, looking very leisurely.

-- Don't pull it down! Anyway...... I looked at the book a few times

。 Anyway...... The big deal is a book. "Wait a minute...... Don't you want to know about me?"

All I had to do was heartache - the book I had just bought.

Three minutes later,

"It's back!" he looked at his watch, not looking up. "Exactly three minutes!"

What is he doing? Countdown? It's disgusting......

"Give me back - my books!" I held out my hand.

"Smack!" my book unexpectedly returned to my hand.

"I knew you'd come back!" he continued to throw stones into the pool. It makes me feel inexplicably upset.

"I just want to get my book back!" I hated the way he looked now.

"Oh, not interested in my business!"

I didn't know how to answer, the air around me was a little stuffy, and he said it as if he had a place in my heart.

"I'm sorry! Yin Zixin, I'm not interested in you or your business at all!" I turned.

"Tom!" this time the voice was particularly loud.

There was a rush of footsteps, and he stood in front of me, and in his inky eyes, the gloom seemed to have dissipated, but there was still a little sorrow.

"Hey...... Are you angry? Just kidding, why are you so careful? ”

"Isn't it funny?" "Heh......" His eyes squinted, and I felt a little familiar.

"Say it!" I looked him in the eye.

"Do you have to talk like that?"

"You provoked me first. ”

"I know!" he curled the corners of his mouth and blinked.

"You know?" said the bastard, I said angrily again.

He put his hand in the pocket of his jeans without the slightest displeasure.

"You did it on purpose?"

"You didn't know until today?"

He tilted his head. What do you mean? Is the past all deliberate, don't tell me...... It's true.

"You ......" I couldn't believe in disbelief, this boy. It's terrible! It can't be what I did? He's going to take me back!

"I always thought I knew you well!"

He glanced at me, then turned to look at the pool on his right, the dark green water was as clear as a wall.

"Understood?" I raised my eyebrows, no one had ever said that to me, not even my parentsβ€”for it was a question that even I was not sure of.

I've never ...... I don't dare to say that the person who knows me best is myself.

"Yes!" he turned his head and smiled at me, a serious smile I had never seen before, was this the real him?

"But ......"

His expression darkened. "You want to know about me, make me suspicious. ”

"Suspect what? Doubt my intentions!"

I pouted.

Am I like the kind of person who likes to "sell" school news? This is an insult to me.

"No, no, I'm wondering if everything I've done wrong in the past, I don't know you at all!"

You know me so well that everything makes me extremely angry, but I never think of "revenge".

He looked at me and whispered, "I didn't tell you because I considered you a friend!"

I turned my head, and a little unusual emotion spread through my heart.

"Who are you going to tell then?" Is that the girl?

"I didn't want to say it, so I didn't tell anyone. Do you want to know?" he sat on a stone chair in the pavilion.

I shook my head.

"You don't want to know?"

"You don't want to say it. ”

"But...... You want to know.

If you want to know, I'll say!" he smiled a little whimsily.

"Probably...... It was two months ago! Something happened at home......

"Quarrel?"

"No...... It's more complicated! My father's company went out of business! He was betrayed, he was betrayed by his best friend! That also means that a man's career that he had worked so hard for most of his life disappeared overnight! They started arguing, and then they ...... It was the father who disappeared.

I thought, he needs to be quiet! My mother was hospitalized and had surgery, even though it was just a minor operation.

But, I think, the one she wants to see most is my father. And then -- just now, she was discharged from the hospital. ”

There was a smile on his face. That's the end of two months. The setting sun was on his face, and I was surprised to see that he was different. After all, we are too ordinary to encounter such a thing very often.

"So, you're in the mood to me off again?"

"Then you say, did I do it wrong before?"

"No, it managed to me off half to death every time!"

"Hah...... Lin Yutong, I finally understand, I still know you very well!" heard his hearty laughter.

I laughed too, but I started to think that what he had done to me before seemed to be to prove that he knew me well - that this boy was boring enough.

"What difference does it make if you don't understand it!"

He stopped laughing.

He replied earnestly: "Yes! If you want to be friends - you must first understand each other! You know...... I mean true friends!"

I looked at him, Yin Zixin - you know me, but, you know what? I don't know you more and more.

Meng Yang's face suddenly flashed in front of my eyes.

Meng Yang...... What do you think?

Are you confident that you know me well?

Friends - even Yin Zixin began to talk about these two words, and everyone had a different opinion.

The only thing that makes me happy is that everyone is not friends for the sake of "finding a partner", but because they understand it!

"Hitomi!The end of the semester is coming, so hurry up and review!"

I scratched the rice in the bowl, and I didn't have time to answer my father.

"Slow down, don't swallow!" Mom began.

I took a sip of the soup. "Mom, you don't know...... Forget it, you don't understand it. ”

Mom looked at Dad, bewildered, but she seemed to smile.

I feel a warm feeling, in fact, it is really a very happy thing to have a warm home.

"Knock knock......" There was a quick knock on the door.

"Open the door!" the man's voice was still mixed with gasps. As soon as the door opened, he rushed in.

"Do you know which hospital she's in?"

I know him - Yin Zixin's father, it's just ...... He seemed tired, his face full of worry, and there was a ruthlessness that could not be ignored.

Dad sat him down.

"Don't worry!" said Mom, handing him a cup of hot tea.

"We went to see her the other day, and now, I'm going to take you there. ”

"Hmm!" he stood up in a panic.

"Wait...... Wait a minute. I spoke, and they turned around, and I looked at him. "Have you been home?"

He shook his head. "As soon as I got off the train, I met a familiar acquaintance, so I rushed over. ”

"I want to ...... She should be at home!"

Yin Zixin and I are standing on the balcony of his house, I haven't been to his house for a long time!

When he opened the door, he looked particularly surprised, but he did not speak. The adults were talking in the study, and I told him what had just happened.

"You...... Do you blame him?"

"There is...... But, he's back!" He picked up the kettle on one side, and there were similar flowers on the balcony to my house, even where the kettle was placed.

I laughed, this boy is not as unreasonable as I imagined, the same bright moon season is open in the light and moonlight, and it is still the same in the cold winter.

Yin Zixin smiled at me.

"Hitomi ......"

"Hey!" I walked in with Yin Zixin and saw his father walking out with his mother in his arms. I know -- this matter has come to a happy end.

"Dad!" I snuggled up to my father as I walked down the road. "What are you talking about in there?"

"You little ghost. "Dad pinched the tip of my nose and it seemed that he was in a good mood.

"They're done, but the whale hasn't been chased back yet. ”

"Alas...... A good friend secretly ran away with the money, and such a thing could not have been predicted. Let alone...... Is he again?"

"In this case, if there is no more money, then his company is really going to go out of business. ”

"Is there no way?" said Mom, frowning. "I'll try to help!" Dad...... You're not in business, how can you help?"

"Hey...... You're underestimating your father!" He looked at me, the smile on his face that seemed disgruntled.

"That's right. How do you know she's at home!"

"Hmm...... Yin Zixin told me! He doesn't seem to know much about this matter!"

He even said that his father's company had gone out of business. There is still hope for a resurrection.

"Later, his father will make it clear to him. ”

"That's good enough kids!"

"Have you been taking care of them for the past two months?"

"No! I only found out a month ago. ”

"Yin Zixin is really good!" Dad said again, he has always been not very praised.

Immediately, I had a "don't tell me" expression on my face.

"Who called you an imp!" he patted me on the head.

"Hey, I'm not a little anymore, I'm an adult. ”

Dad put his arm around my shoulder. "Yes! Let's go back and do our homework!"

"Daddy......"

"Ha ......"

When I returned home, I realized that the moon season on the balcony had opened, and the fragrance of the house was really a beautiful night, and at the beginning of December, it was really the end of the period! I asked myself - Lin Yutong, are you ready?

After Yin Zixin's matter came to light, I was in a lot of mood, the end of the semester was approaching, and the review was quite tight, so I stayed with Suzuko later every evening. (To be continued.) )
